Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre Supposed To Open First Half 2017, Still Not Open By The End Of 2017

Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre May Never Open

Foodies were thrilled when it was announced in 2015 that NTUC Foodfare would be opening Pasir Ris Central’s first hawker centre, supposedly in the first half of 2017.

However, things went surprisingly quiet once the hype died down, with no information on an exact date the hawker centre was set to open. The first half of 2017 came and went, and oddly enough, there was no mention of an opening day, or even delays.

What’s really going on?

Then Sept 2017 came, and excitement started to grow again as The Straits Times spilled some juicy info about the hawker centre, including the opening date.

They reported that the hawker centre was finally set to open in November, with a hipster vibe meant to cater to millennials. ST even detailed that each hawker stall on the first floor will have 2 budget meal options for only $2.80, as well as healthier meals below 500 calories each.

Not only that, the second floor would be called the Fareground. The space was supposed to look like a “hipster food market” and would be home to various events hosted on location, like musical performances and craft markets.
